Resource Files outside the public directory not loading

Several Perch versions ago in 2.8 something it was suggested that the resources be put outside the public directory in members only section. So we did that but now they will not load and we do not want to have to load all those files in again. Is there a way to move the files to the public html directory and have them work by changing a line of code. There are thousands of these files. https://www.websitename.org/me…=/dachstaedter-george.pdf is one of the links. Is there a way to manually edit the link to point to a resource file in the public directory without loading all the files in again.

Having trouble applying the information will show files maybe you can figure out where I went wrong. Also will not log out

These ARE THE FILES WHERE IS THE PROBLEM?

It is commented out so that shouldn't be effecting anything should it? But it is still not working. Are you saying the coding is correct? Maybe because I can't log out - that started not working also.

Ok I commented that out and it is still not working. I can not log out. It takes me to the correct page I have noted but does not log out from the server/website.

I did find the extra perch_members file and moved it out of the apps folder but it is still not working. Is there something else I should be doing?

Logout works now in incognito window but files still don't show up.

That works and people can't get there from the internet because you have to login to the site.
